"NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER - NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST NONFICTION
BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY "TIME" NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY
"The New York Times Book Review - The Washington Post - The Boston Globe - The
Seattle Times - Kirkus Reviews" A powerful true story about the potential for mercy to
redeem us, and a clarion call to fix our broken system of justice--from one of the
most brilliant and influential lawyers of our time Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer
when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending
those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women
and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his
first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a

notorious murder he insisted he didn t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of
conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship--and transformed his
understanding of mercy and justice forever. "Just Mercy "is at once an unforgettable
account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer s coming of age, a moving window into
the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the
pursuit of true justice. Praise for "Just Mercy" ""Just Mercy" is every bit as moving as

understanding, mercy, and justice that offer hope. . . . "Just Mercy" is a remarkable
amalgam, at once a searing indictment of American criminal justice and a stirring
testament to the salvation that fighting for the vulnerable sometimes yields."--David
